are being made in britain to reassess the way the country's broadcasters bring news to the public and initiative aims to free them from the legal to use it to uphold impartiality and lead the coverage reflect the opinions of their own as his point of boycott reports the way that newspapers and news channels are regulated in the u.k. is startlingly different so newspapers and online news portals they still regulate themselves that means that they can be as politically biased as they please the example being the guardian on the left in the u.k. on. the london times on the right but for news channels it's a whole different story they're legally bound by off to be impartial and if they're deemed not to be they can be fined or even have their license revoked but in a day and age when the media is converging and news portals are looking more like television channels and television channels have their own websites is this regulation re distinction fair and does it make sense well the lords communication
5:23 am
committee have come out with a report recommending that the government removes the impartiality rules from nonpublic broadcast says i'm joined by lord richard inglewood who's the chairman of the lords communication committee to talk about this so if the way that no industry is regulated right now is outdated and the media and you're saying news websites that more and more like the channel that the channels have their news websites it's all converged is that impartiality horse for us to complete york city tonight not entirely no we firmly advocate that the public service broadcasters in this country should be exist to the exactly the same way as they do not they provide the benchmark the measure of impartiality how achievable is impartiality i know that right now there is the impartiality clause but nevertheless we have perceived biases from all these journals that exists right now doesn't personality exist at
5:24 am
all well it's a very slippery concept as you quite right to say but one of the advantages of a plural media landscape is that different people will approach the question of impartiality from slightly different perspectives i don't think you can say impartiality means that there is one way of doing it which is the only right way but what impartiality does do is cut out the kind of political proselytizing but you're quite right in saying you find it quite a number of newspapers and in certain news providers for watch side objects diction if commercial or just as a given free reign to do what they like what about barbara. i mean the crucial point here is that in a world where ip t.v. is going to be the norm relatively soon all this stuff is going to be streamed into into into people's houses if they want to watch it and that's the big question is will people want to watch it there are some very basic rules that surround that very very basic and shows a matter is that's what the future is going to look like so it's all very well us being very pious here but the short answer is it's not going to stop it already if
5:25 am
you can get stuff off the internet from these other countries providing with extremely partial news thank you very much for your comment well thank you very much for taking part. next a man loved by the people but feared by the bronx experience that brings me the kind of reporting to some of the. oh no who lazy bureaucratic and trivial censorship strikes again but this time in russia a bill has been signed into law that will put fines on individuals and legal and to these for using vulgar already in the media one major flaw of many with this is that they really don't know which words are going to be considered vogue or i guess
5:26 am
these words are so awful that they cannot even write them down i'm not naïve there has always been and will always be censorship but this where word list is just silly there is a common expression on the russian internet that russian mainstream media could accept more and i was a sion of society russian t.v. does have all the bloody violent action movies as well as scandalous talk shows which are kind of more like freak shows and plenty of reality t.v. where young people pretty much act like subhuman animals in a cage they've got all that so the government is basically saying that if some guy on t.v. comes down twenty people blooded limbs flying that that is totally ok for television unless they come in for bid swear while doing it you can show brainless materialistic dimwits sleeping and fighting with everything that moves on a reality show but if they say that one magic three letter russian word then it is over the line this is not a logical way to conduct censorship but that's just my opinion.

i am x.-prize your welcome to the kaiser report many people want to know what is going on mt gox the bitcoin exchange i'll tell you what's wrong with market making we're going to talk about that right now stacy herbert max keiser for those out there who don't know of course the big point is this new currency it's a network protocol. an online exchange way to transfer value online and eighty percent of bitcoins are traded on mt gox now mt gox stands for magic the
5:28 am
gathering online exchange it started life as a place where you could exchange magic the gathering cards for cash and it ended up not by design obviously but it became the place to go to trade bitcoins as well but william bonzai has created a backstage look at what the mt gox commando looks like as you see it looks very nine hundred fifty s. now max you created the hollywood stock exchange where it's run by the virtual specialist technology which you invented and a few days before mt gox crashed. you warned exactly on this so explain what is wrong with the market making function here the way trades are processed the buyers and the sellers at mt gox and all these other exchanges it's not done in a way that's commensurate let's say with the way trades are cleared and exchange
5:29 am
the new york stock exchange or some other exchange where there is a specialist function who is making a market and their job is to create a fair and orderly price matching buys and sells and so they do this by by having both the ability to match trades buyers and sellers but also managing an inventory of whatever it is they're trading in so if it's i.b.m. stock on the floor of the new york stock exchange the market maker would have an inventory of i.b.m. stock so that if in fact there was a mismatch of buyers and sellers they can step in and be the market be the market maker that doesn't exist on any of these exchanges really they're trying to match up buyers and sellers in a way that's completely inappropriate for any kind of modern market making mechanism and so while i'm in the process now of trying to straighten that out by working by consulting with up.
